Helps readers identify what is important about their project, how their research relates to previous work and how it may be used to bring about change at individual, community, national or even international levels. This work presents a strategy that focuses on the notion of the 'project' as an organising framework.

Shows that writing up is not just about 'presenting findings' as if the facts would speak for themselves. As the authors show there are certain vital skills that any writer needs to develop within their academic writing.

Explores the view that research is not a neutral tool to be employed without bias in the search for truth. This book introduces and draws upon contemporary debates and data gathered from funded projects in health, education, police training, youth and community, schools, business, and the use of information technology.

What makes the book distinctive is its focus on interviewing not just as a tool to be used within other frameworks such as case study, action research, evaluation and surveys, but as an approach to organise a project as a whole, to provide frameworks for organising perspectives on the multiple 'worlds' of everyday life.
